1.6.13 - New Music - Pet Shop Boys

The Pet Shop Boys have released another single, although I’m not sure anyone will notice.

“Memory of the Future” feels like just another in a long series of PSB tracks that have come out…throughout their entire career. To be perfectly honest, if I didn’t already know that this was off their latest LP ‘Elysium’ (their eleventh, by the way) I would have a hard time placing this song on a timeline. The band – save for a few bits here and there – have gotten a bit stale, and “Memory” only proves this.

Don’t get me wrong – the song is good, it’s just that we’ve heard this all before. In fact, the use of repetition but in a higher range on the chorus only brings up the more exciting lead single from this album, “Winner”. It’s a good trick, one that they have used several times (SEVERAL). Diehard fans, keep on loving your boys.
